Direct Line’s Knowledge Centre can help landlords understand what kind of insurance best suits their investment

Many of the new generation of buy-to-let property owners are “accidental landlords” who are renting out properties due to circumstance rather than because they aspire to be professional investors.

Because buy-to-let investment is about far more than simply buying a property and renting it out, such newcomers to the market will need expert advice on where to invest, what returns to expect and the legal and tax implications of their investment.

They will also need to know how to choose the best mortgage, how to let out the property so that they comply with the 100-plus regulations that are relevant to landlords – and vet tenants carefully to minimise the potential of chasing late payments or getting embroiled in an eviction process.

Landlords need to understand what kind of insurance best suits their investment.
